I'm wondering why the potential teachers making a clamor to teach in public schools (but don't want to go the ED School route) aren't making a clamor to teach in private schools? Could it be the money? There are several wonderful private schools in our area. People always ask why I don't teach private rather than public. I'll put up with the public school BS any day to make a decent wage. Isn't that the American way?

I taught in a highly regard public school in FL. The salary was horrible. I think I could have earned more working in a 7-11. That is why I do think it important to have an organization looking out for teachers - if schools were left to their own devices in terms of salary, I think they would pay teachers $0. In fact, in FL, because I earned more than $1 from this private school, everything they did was legal in terms of my wages. I won't go into how they screwed me out of a portion of the meager salary I was earning. That is why I will not teach in a private school again - they are business people, out for a buck. And, they're take yours.
